Fired, Resigned, Promotions Halted: Fmr Navy Cdr. on Hegseth’s Military Purge

Season 2026 Episode 8249 | 17m 42s

Earlier this month, U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll became the latest in a string of high-profile military leaders to resign. Others have been forcibly sidelined and removed by the Sec of Defense, Pete Hegseth, as part of a campaign against what he calls "DEI" and "woke" policy. Former Navy officer Theodore Johnson discusses what Hegseth's overhaul means for the future of the military.
